Week Thirty One Thursday’s Grateful List

I have had a wonderful few weeks of beach, snow and cycling. Wow – I am so lucky! I have to be honest though it has also been tough. I have watched people doing things I love and have not been able to participate because I am not fit and strong enough yet. I have also told my story many times in the last few weeks as I have met new people who have been interested in what happened to me. It has been pretty tiring. I have put on quite a bit of weight in the process and I am feeling not so on top of the world. So I have got busy and I am grateful for all the people I am able to get help from.

I am grateful for my lovely physio Andrew from Allsports physio The Gap who I saw on Monday. He and I have developed a plan for the next few months. This plan includes two sessions of Pilates, one windtrainer, one gym session, three sessions of walking and one session of swimming. I am going to busy! Hopefully this plan will be gentle enough so that I slowly build up my core to be able to support some riding.

I am grateful for my lovely PT Tom McPhail from Suncorp PCYC. I am going to go back to do weights and concentrate on my core and upper body.

Today I am grateful for Michelle Bridges. I have signed up for 12 weeks and as I have done her program before I know I will get great meal plans, shopping lists and lots of support. Hopefully I will be able to fit into all my lovely clothes very soon.

Today I am grateful for all the people at Febfast. I have signed up to do a month of no alcohol. I am really looking forward to detoxing my body.

Today I am grateful for my lovely hairdresser Lisa from Purple Daze. She gave me a new do yesterday. I love it. My family is not so sure !

Today I am grateful to my beautiful husband. He has listened to my frustrations in the last few weeks and been very supportive and loving. We are going to go and look at new bikes on Friday and I am so excited!

And lastly I am grateful to all of you who read my blog today. I love all your messages of support and I hope that I am able to sprinkle a little gratitude into your life and today you might think about something you are grateful for.

And …..if you are struggling with aspects of your life think about and seek out people who can help.
